Update: Thanks to @JoyfulCodingGuy below for clearing up the Proton confusion. I’m glad they can still be trusted.

Original message: Proton being out is devastating. Why does everything go to shit?

Greed.

Follow me for more obvious answers.

Lmao yep of course. It just sucks that we can’t ever have anything nice.

JoyfulCodingGuy, rok temu (edited rok temu)

Like another person said they resolved to that here: www.reddit.com/r/…/protonvpn_and_tesonet/

I guess you decide if you like the response or not but that was a long time ago as well. 🙂

That’s actually very interesting and reassuring. Thank you very much indeed for the insight–I can continue to use Proton in peace.

Proton responded to the Tesonet thing when that was a big issue, can’t remember what was said but I was satisfied enough with their response to continue using them

Why do you keep linking to ycombinator and not the actual article?

cyrano, rok temu (edited rok temu)

Primary sauce and discussion too for context. I added the link in comment to the direct map

hackernews has some good discussions and the source is right there. I see it as a bonus, if it was reddit I would feel differently.

A lot of the top VPNs on here as well as less known VPNs seem to have much less connections.

(protonVPN, Mullvad, and PrivateVPN for example).

Cool site! Though it isn’t too good on mobile because it forces the map into a window 1/4 od the screen size 😅

So what's a good VPN these days? Torrent support not needed, just want a little privacy.

Mullvad is looking pretty good. You can even sign up for them through FirefoxVPN and then you’re also supporting Mozilla.

JoyfulCodingGuy, rok temu

I personally use Mullvad and love it but it is not conducive to helping seed due to port forwarding being blocked.

Surfshark worked well for me for a long time. Lots of servers, works well for unlocking region blocked content and it’s pretty cheap. If you’re into full privacy, I recently moved to AirVPN who accept payment through crypto, so you don’t have to hand over user data except for an email (which doesn’t have to be a real one, you can delete it later).

DemBoSain, rok temu

I use Mullvad. The map says its only relationship is a sisterhood with Firefox VPN (they use the same servers, but different software).

rysiek, 10 miesięcy temu do wolnyinternet w Dropbox usunął możliwość wykluczenia się z udostępniania swoich plików do trenowania AI

Chyba jednak wyjaśnienie jest prostsze: Dropbox jeszcze nie odpalił tej funkcjonalności w ogóle dla większości osób: www.dropboxforum.com/t5/…/736886

harcesz, 10 miesięcy temu

Gdybym im wierzył faktycznie dużo by to tłumaczyło.

rysiek, 10 miesięcy temu

Bardziej wierzę, że nie wdrożyli tych kontrolek, niż że je już usunęli. Ale to nie oznacza, że dane nie idą do OpenAI, oczywiście.

Torrenting is one thing but I wouldn’t be trusting a VPN to protect from anything to attract the heat of the law or government.

nanoUFO, rok temu do piracy w 2023 Paid VPN Relationship and Corporate VPN Ownership Map

I assume the more money they spend on advertising the more dubious and low quality they are, this seems to be the case most of the time I see ads for almost any product. Might as well be a red flag at this point.

żart jest na nich, na moim koncie są same zaszyfrowane pliki i cudzy content, do którego nie mogę im udzielić żadnych praw (ebooki, mp3 itp.)
